Travis and Taylor

[Anonymous]

I think Kelce has gotten himself into a situation. He's the most competitive person on the planet, and she's like the ultimate trophy, but at what cost? I think he likes her. He may even think he loves her or SHOULD love her. But I also think he is keenly aware of how messy this whole situation is. He isn't stupid. He's doing the calculations - if I break up with her, what will that mean and what will happen? If I don't break up with her, what will our lives be like long term? Will it be worth the mess? And come on...I love TS about as much as anyone, but she can't not have an enormous personality and ego. Even if you're in love with someone, that can be too much. The next year should be pretty interesting.

At this point he’s going to have a hard time extricating himself from this relationship (if or when he wants to). Definitely think he bit off more than he can chew here.

I think there's such a thing as being too famous. So much that it's not good for anyone. I think she's there. Not her fault.

I think so too but she could back off and not be so in your face. She didn't need to go to so many football games.

Exactly. I hope she has people telling her what she needs to hear and not what she wants to hear. She may have to break up with him to save him.

I get the idea behind seizing a moment when there is maximum attention on her to promo the new album, I do. But I feel like this might not apply to Taylor because she's SO big that there are always a lot of eyes on her.

I think announcing the album, especially given all the easter eggs/hints that it is going to be all about her breakup with Joe, might backfire and attract a lot of negative attention. Because it just seems weird to announce an album all about your ex when the world is in a fervor over your current relationship, and both you and your current boyfriend are having huge weeks in terms of your careers. It feels like flying too close to the sun, and for even big fans there's this whiplash involved, like we were just talking about Taylor and Travis and suddenly we're rehashing Taylor and Joe but also Taylor is going to be at the Super Bowl this weekend cheering on Travis? It's a lot in just a short time frame.

Playing 20/20 armchair publicist, I think it might have been better to just go to the Grammy's and collect her awards graciously with some semi-prepared remarks that kind of burnish her image and remind people what they like about Taylor (humor, self-effacing, etc.) in a way that makes it clear what a boss she is. Then go play Tokyo, then go to Las Vegas and perform the role of supportive (but also very accomplished in her own right, and gorgeous) girlfriend for Travis. THEN like the next day, drop the news of the new album and let fans and media have their feeding frenzy over the meaning of the album and track titles and the timing of the release, while Taylor heads out on her international tour with Travis, leaving breadcrumbs of the two of them grabbing cute little dates in foreign capitals as if to say "Yeah I wrote this album about my no-good ex, but look at me now. Enjoy the heartbreak songs, but there's light at the end of the tunnel."

I just think if she'd played it all a smidge differently, she wouldn't be getting attacked quite so much now and actually would be kind of untouchable.

On the other hand, here we all are, talking about it. Maybe she figures all press is good press and whatever gets people talking, in which case well done I guess.

I don’t agree with you but also excellent analysis. I don’t love an album drop thank you speech. It’s too self serving. But she’s now at the point where she won’t get out of bed for less than breaking the internet.

I think the reason she's been to so many games is kind of heart-breaking. In her last relationship, she wasn't allowed to show up for him or be a part of his life. He didn't want her there because of the mess it caused. When Kelce invited her to come to the games, it probably made her feel wanted...like she wasn't a burden or too much. Ugh.

She has the best team in the business, and they likely see that the down-turn in tolerance for her is picking up even with fans. How that plays out with Kelce will be interesting. I'm still not convinced he's 100% into this. I think he bit off way more than he bargained for.

I actually thought that for a short time, but what I saw last week convinced me otherwise. When he went to her before he left the field and said he was going to go enjoy with the guys, and said “love you, so much it’s not funny”, he had definite tears in his eyes as he walked away. They were not there as he walked up to her. That is real emotion.

He loves her and fame, I truly think he’s happy and being challenged in a way he is into.

Overall I think she is a beacon against the be less message for women. Talk less less mistakes less mess less feelings and less insecurities. She is really walking her talk about be yourself everyone is already taken. I love that and her mess.

+1. She managed to hide away for six years with Joe alwyn. Plenty of uber famous people value their privacy and act accordingly.

Taylor seemed to resent hiding away with Joe and is now either in her “IDGAF” era, or she’s enjoying peak stardom.

She's surrounded by yes men. They're smart but still yes men in end. i fee like Travis might be too close to her personality wise.

She’s definitely IDGAF and you my friend are giving way too many.

I don't think she'll stop. She'll drop two albums or something.

Announcing her new record at the Grammies was a bit tone deaf, her interaction with Celine was cringe. She is immature and her relationship with Kelce is highlighting this facet of her character.

Yeah. Now, I see why she doesn't give interviews anymore. She's not good at talking points.

Her work is insanely good. Like Stay Don’t Go. So sad but also so freaking addicting. She makes music crack.
